Warwick Davis dedicates BAFTA to late wife
At the 2025 BAFTAs, Warwick was honoured with a BAFTA Fellowship. This award recognises individuals who have made an “outstanding and exceptional” contribution to the screen.

“This is probably the best thing that has ever happened to me… and I’ve been in Star Wars! I’m going to keep this short, it’s been a long night… short, yes you can laugh,” he said.
He continued: “I’m going to say thank you to my mum, my first agent, she’s the reason I am here tonight.”

‘Life has been pretty tough’
After thanking his team, an emotional Warwick dedicated the award to his late wife Samantha.
“Above all I would like to dedicate and thank my wonderful wife Sammy who died almost a year ago. She was always so supportive of my career and encouraged me to grab every opportunity with both hands,” he said.
Warwick then thanked their two children Annabelle, 27, and Harrison, 21, for helping him throughout the past tough year. The siblings were both seen crying in the audience.
Thank you for showing me that life can still have meaning and for helping me to laugh and to love again.
He shared: “Since then, life has been pretty tough for me but thanks to the support of our wonderful children Annabelle and Harrison, I’ve been able to continue working and engaging in life.”
Warwick shouts out ‘Sponge’ who has helped him ‘love again’
Finishing off the emotional speech, Warwick gave a shout-out to a mystery person he referred to as “Sponge”. According to Warwick, they have helped him to “love again”.
Fighting back the tears, he said: “Special mention should go to Sponge, you know who you are. Thank you for showing me that life can still have meaning and for helping me to laugh and to love again.”
